Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones confirmed that the team has traded star defender Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. The deal brings Dallas several draft picks and an unnamed Pro Bowl player who, according to Jones, plays in a position where the Cowboys have long needed reinforcement. Jones said the primary objective of the transaction is to strengthen the club’s run defense, an area he acknowledged has been a persistent weakness “for several years.” He added that the newly acquired draft selections could be packaged in additional trades if the Cowboys identify further roster needs ahead of the season.
